This data is used in medical and social sciences, public health and health demographics, human services planning, population estimation and projections, and economic forecasting.

They maintain permanent public records of each birth, death, marriage, and divorce (marriage dissolution's since 1962) occurring in California since 1905. They will provide certified copies of California vital records or searches the permanent central registry to verify the occurrence of vital events in California.
